Well ... on one hand, I am inclined to spring to the defense of Virginia tobaccos, which I greatly appreciate ... but, on the other hand, I'm inclined to not do so ... as Mark Twain once said “Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong."
Individual taste is, after all, just that ... individual. My preferences are right for me, and if you don't agree, that doesn't necessarily mean that you are doing something wrong nor does it make you wrong ... only YOUR preferences are right for you.
I learned long ago that I don't much care for Latakia or for any blend that contains it ... and I'm not wrong as far as MY taste is concerned ... that said, I daresay that a majority of those in this forum disagree with that and that there are a great many blends in which Lat is a featured ingredient which they find absolutely wonderful. They are not wrong either, insofar as THEIR taste is concerned ...
My take is that you should explore the wide, wonderful world of various pipe tobaccos and choose what YOU find best and to not worry whether you are wrong in so doing ...
